Yeah then trump steaks could really make a comeback

Cort ,

Hubble is old enough that it only has a 1MP camera, so roughly 720p or 1280x720 pixels , so each pixel would represent about 15 feet if you're generous. A back yard swimming pool would be like 4 pixels, 9 if your parents are rich.

Cort ,

Smokin their damned pipe weeds while they quaff their brandywines.

Cort ,

So gloves made from kids?

Cort ,

Colorado isn't interpreting it, merely following it. He's been found guilty in a Colorado Court for a crime that disqualifies him to appear on the ballot of that state.

To argue otherwise is to argue that states can't remove teenagers from the ballot even though they're too young to hold office.

Cort ,

More like many Americans actively vote against their own self interests then complain that the government doesn't look out for them. Kind of a 'leopard ate my face after I voted for the face eating leopard party' situation

Cort ,

I'd prefer he exit via a swan drive into the orchestra pit rather than stage left

Cort ,

Yes. The normal speed would be 33.33 rpm unless it was a 45 rpm single which is less likely for classical. So classical music played at 2.3x speed.

Cort ,

Any place that sells a disposable lithium battery should be required to accept them back for recycling.

Cort ,

They'd have to throw in like 10 billion a year for over a decade, so we probably need a couple of the worlds richest billionaires

Cort ,

Fwiw, 25 yrs ago was 1999, and I remember seeing these for sale at my eye doctor even before that. These kids may have been fucking with you...

Cort ,

Warning about a surge of water or surge of ants? Both, the latter caused by the former

Cort ,

Fwiw, about a decade ago I had a conversation with (iirc) a red cross employee who worked with blood banks. They said they make about 350 a pint but it costs about 300 to do all the required testing like HIV/hepatitis screening.

Marijuana meets criteria for reclassification as lower-risk drug, FDA scientific review finds ( www.cnn.com )

Marijuana has a lower potential for abuse than other drugs that are subjected to the same restrictions, with scientific support for its use as a medical treatment, researchers from the US Food and Drug Administration say in documents supporting its reclassification as a Schedule III substance....

Cort ,

Alcohol would at worst be schedule 2 since it has medical use. It's the cure to methanol poisoning and ethylene glycol poisoning.

Cort ,

Only slightly below hammer if you're pistol whipping someone

Cort ,

I'd say it depends on the number of hands.

No hands and no fingers is ok. But fingers without hands, or hands without fingers is not ok.

Cort ,

Meesa disagree with yousaah

Are attention spans actually shortening?

So a view I see a lot nowadays is that attention spans are getting shorter, especially when it comes to younger generations. And the growing success of short form content on Tiktok, Youtube and Twitter for example seems to support this claim. I have a friend in their early 20s who regularly checks their phone (sometimes...

Cort ,

Every 30 days I have to hide YouTube shorts because if I don't I'll get sucked into a hole until 3 in the morning without even realizing it.

I still watch long form content, but man are those shorts addictive.
